   And LLM is literally autocomplete beasedmon statistics in training data.

   That’s it.

   It doesn’t know anything or think about anything (even if companies call some of the inference steps “thinking”), neither does it have concepts or any grasp on reality.

   It's not a "setback" to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it's a complete destruction of it.

   It's fucking Jim Crow, and every one of these batshit crazy GOP fuckwits knows it and wants it.

   Please be sure you get it: they *want* this. They are *choosing* it. They are doing so *consciously*. This is their *desire*.

   Next stop: the chattel slavery the oligarchs have always dreamt of bringing back.

   Hey Followers,

   I have avoided sharing too much of my #boardgame #hobby on this feed. You guys know I am a board gamer, but I have not done any reviews and have not shared much about it.

   It is also one of the topics I could do at least FIVE TEDTalks on.

   Is that something you guys care about or should I stay to the standard programming and just keep pushing the memes?

   Putting out memes is not really putting myself out there, but doing board games would.

   Let me know, comment below.

   “Always know that real progress is often invisible, boring, repetitive.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Your success will often not involve huge home runs that have you cheering with joy. It will come about through small bunts, working the bases, advancing slowly but surely towards a goal, and muttering about the pace.

   Treat your progress as such.

   Right now, this can be a challenge. After all, we live in a "highlight reel" culture. We see the successful keynote, the published book, or the smooth career pivot and assume that it all happened in a flash of inspiration. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most profound breakthroughs and the biggest wins are rarely the result of a sudden lightning bolt. They are the result of the quiet, daily discipline of showing up when it feels like nothing is changing. Playing the clubs. Putting in the work. Advancing slowly but steadily.

   I did a lot of small events in rural America and small towns in Canada before I hit the big stages of Las Vegas. It was often boringly dull, excruciatingly tiring, and sometimes, with a detached audience, not terribly motivating. But through that, I learned that success is often built on "invisible progress." The small steps that get you closer to a big goal.

   For me, success and learning are about the hundredth hour spent in the lab struggling with a Linux configuration.

   It’s the years of writing a Daily Inspiration post without missing a single workday.

   It’s the repetitive act of studying a disruptive trend long before the world notices it.

   It was spending time on stages that sometimes I did not want to be on.

   Most people quit during this "boring" phase. They mistake the lack of immediate feedback for a lack of progress. They want the dopamine hit of a "win" every day. But as a practitioner, you have to realize that you are building up your skills, capabilities, and knowledge.

   The amateur waits for the quick hit.

   The master relies on patience and effort.

   Success isn't a sprint; it’s the compound interest of your daily discipline.

   The thing I dislike the most about Mastodon is the Private Mentions feature. This is a public app. Private Mentions are not private, not end-to-end encrypted, and are used by hustlers across the globe to pretend they are women from Gaza begging for money in targeted ads masquerading as PMs. Slick photos. Great communication from a war zone. THEY HAVE BANKS, even though everything on the ground is turned to pumice.

   I really hate that feature. It's a useless nod to old Twitter, where ALL OF THAT was scooped up by the Nazi pricks who owned and bought it.

   It is the feature most likely to piss me off to start my day.

   If you want to send a private message, USE SIGNAL!

   @DeWalt

   Everyone up there has there cameras out. There are probably 30-40 people on top at a time. It's certainly possible one of them noticed something before the shooting started and filmed it.

   It's crazy how everything gets recorded these days.
